more creative options. From a state-of-the art Wireless Lens Control System to a
new PL Mount DirectorÂ’s Viewfinder, these new professional camera accessories
marry the best of time-proven technology with the latest advancements. All of
these products are now available.

MMB-1 ACCESSORIES - Building on the success of the MMB-1 system
designed for smaller handheld HD cameras, ARRI has designed several new
accessories to maximize the systemÂ’s cross compatibly. New top and side flags
provide greater light control. A 138 to 130mm adapter is now available to step
down the rear clamping mechanism for compatibility with the complete line of
MB-20 clamp adapter rings. New filter frames for the popular 4 x 4 size are
available along with a 4. x 5.65 tray with closed corners. For those wanting to use
horizontally graduated filters, a retrofit kit is available to adapt the rear stage to a
top-loading configuration. The current back diameter of the MMB-1 is 138mm; a
retrofit kit for a 143mm will accommodate the standard MB-20 bellows rings while
allowing greater clamping compatibility for larger lens diameters.

MB-28 MATTEBOX - ARRI has designed the MB-28 Mattebox specifically to fit
the Angenieux Optimo 24-290mm zoom in addition to prime lenses. One, threestage
mattebox can now cover both needs. It is a 6.6 x 6.6 wide angle compact
mattebox with the front two trays independently rotatable 360 degrees from the
rear stage. In addition to 6.6 x 6.6 filters, the MB-28 incorporates 4 x 5.65
reduction tray inserts for smaller filter sizes. The rear bellows can hold a 6” round
filter and can be stepped down to fit various lenses using standard MB-20
reduction rings. The swing away arm is available for 15mm and 19mm
bridgeplates as well as Panavision standards.
